Mr Smurf,

I seriously doubt the issue is as simple as you assume.

Point one: the 40/60 split from the study is not representative of the population.who has EV now?

Not the early shift worker not the tradie leaving at 5 or 6 am and back at 4pm.

Not a young person going out every day for the gym, meet friends,soccer and sushi with GF.

So these studies are not going to be applicable to the average car user.

Then how long do you need to charge an ev to be back to fully loaded? Are we not talking 8 to 9 hours?

So for people arriving home and plugging att 6pm,you strt running their batteries down to 0 till what 8pm then recharge till 4 or 5am?

Bad luck if you have to go to a movie or get your pizza..this would only work in a uber urban centric world, not. In the suburbs where mosts of the cars are.

And still require power by night .. currently as you know nearly 100pc  coal stations...

Does not fit with the dream of green power Nirvana..and i would hate seeing my car battery destroyed to please the gov or AGL.
